Q: What is the minimum GPM pressure washer that should be used with this surface cleaner?by Tom Materasso from New York on March 11, 2015

A: Your pressure washer should be rated for at least 4.0 GPM in order to operate this surface cleaner properly. If you don't have the proper flow, the rotary arm won't spin correctly and it will cause streaking.by Brian, Product Expert

Q: What will happen if I go above 4000 psiby Bo Westberry from Georgia on October 27, 2014

A: The hose will burst and you will permanently damage the unit. This is rated for a MAX 4000 PSI, and you should not use it above that. If you need to use above 4000 PSI, you would need to buy a professional unit rated for that PSI. by Brian, Product Expert

The new and improved WAW-20Y has a 20" cleaning diameter and is recommended to be used with pressure washers delivering between 3.5 and 8 gallons per minute. The preferred pressure washer to purchase along with the WAW-20Y is the part # PE-4013HWPSCOMZ (4 GPM at 4000 PSI).

Be Whirl-a-way

Good product, saved time for sure, no zebra stripes, adjustable height of tips- Watch out for objects that stick up so they don't hit tips as they spin.

If you use hot water -well don't with the factory o-rings. I used hot water and the o-ring lasted maybe two minutes. I had to replace it with a more durable one which Whirl-A-Way was awesome and told me what to replace it with- great support staff. But o-ring went out on a Saturday so I had to finish job next week.

If you have a 3500 psi 3.5gpm machine you still can use this, it just requires more effort to push it. You can purchase smaller tips. Also, make sure you- are you paying attention to this!- remove tips on bottom of machine and flush lines out. I had a tip that got clogged up-get a needle or pin to clean tip.

I have a large amount to clean, about three to four times of most homes and I cleaned all my concrete in about a third of the previous time.

I would buy a 16 inch the next time as would be good enough and could be stored better and would be a bit easier to use. After all I am only 79.

Time Saving!!

This will clean more evenly than a wand, it must be 90% quicker.

First time used today so can't give a honest review as to how it will stand up to 8 hours a day 5 days a week use over 12 months.

Simple to assemble takes 2 to 3 mins. Well made with heavy duty hand trigger.

Great Product!

One review I saw before buying my surface cleaner boasted an 80% reduction in cleaning time which I couldn't believe. After my first minute of use, I thought they were underestimating! What ills some additional time was I had to switch back to my old gun to clean off the dirt the surface unit removed so 80% is a pretty good estimate.

I also use this in the garage which one cold never do with a standard gun. I also didn't understand what folks were saying about using the unit close to flower beds or walls but now see these features make this unit essential for anyone who uses a pressure washer.

Like all good purchases, why didn't I get this 20 years ago? My neighbors who borrow all my stuff will appreciate this unit.

Worked Great For Me

I live in Washington state and we have alot of moss and dirt on walkways and driveways that needs to be removed each year. I do the job twice a year.

My neighbor bought a General Pump 20" Prosumer last year. I used it and it worked great and almost bought one but our neighbors like to borrow things and I wanted to make sure I got back my own unit so I bought the BE 20" Surface Cleaner. It worked great and now we won't mix up the grey and yellow.

I have a Simpson pressure washer with a Honda engine that has 3200 PSI and 2.8 GPM. Both my neighbors General Pump and the BE cleaner worked fine. Either would have worked for what I wanted it for. I'm 67 y/o and go slow. It does not leave streaks and it cut the time down by 2/3.

This was my 2nd purchase from Pressure Washers Direct. After ordering online I got an email that day with my receipt, next day that the order was processing, the next day the tracking number, and then 4 days later it was delivered to my doorstep in Washington state. Item came from Florida. I like that type of service.

The unit comes in 3 pieces. The handle goes together with 2 pins, the handle attaches to the cleaner with 2 pins, and then the hose screws into the cleaner. Easy to put together and take apart for storing if you want.

I would recommend the BE 20" and Pressure Washers Direct to others.
